Racing Incident Report
Race Eight: (26) - THE CHINESE RECREATION CLUB CHALLENGE CUP (HANDICAP) - Class 4 - 1200Meters
SUNLIGHT POWER jumped awkwardly and then was badly crowded between MARVEL DRAGON and DIAMOND FOREVER which was bumped and taken out by CURLING SPEED.
Near the 1100 Metres, PODIUM and DREAM PURSUER raced tight between PERFECT PEACH and WIDE BLUE YONDER, resulting in PODIUM and DREAM PURSUER making contact for some distance.
Shortly after, PERFECT PEACH blundered badly when crowded between PODIUM which then shifted out slightly and GO GO GO (A Atzeni) which shifted in before being crowded by I GIVE (Apprentice Y L Chung).
Both A Atzeni and Apprentice Chung were reprimanded and advised in similar circumstances they would be expected to ensure that they are sufficiently clear when shifting ground.
Near the 1000 Metres, GO GO GO was steadied when being crossed by PINS PRINCE.
Near the 350 Metres, CURLING SPEED was eased when momentarily crowded between PERFECT PEACH and SUNLIGHT POWER which shifted in when hanging in.
SUNLIGHT POWER continued to hang in when placed under pressure in the Home Straight and proved reluctant to shift to the outside.
Passing the 200 Metres, PERFECT PEACH was steadied away from SEE U AGAIN.
Approaching the 150 Metres, SEE U AGAIN was inconvenienced when PODIUM shifted out slightly.
Near the 25 Metres, I GIVE and KA YING WARRIOR brushed due to both runners shifting ground slightly.
HAPPY TRIO raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
When questioned regarding his riding out of KA YING WARRIOR over the final 200 Metres, Z Purton stated that prior to the race his mount was stirred up behind the barriers.
He said after commencing well, KA YING WARRIOR raced keenly throughout the early and middle stages.
He said on entering the Home Straight his mount continued to travel strongly and near the 200 Metres he then commenced to ride KA YING WARRIOR along to ask for a finishing effort.
He added as he placed KA YING WARRIOR under full pressure, his mount did not respond well as he had expected due to its inexperience and proved difficult to ride out.
He said over the final 200 Metres he endeavoured to encourage KA YING WARRIOR to change stride to allow it to fully stretch out to the finish, however, the horse did not respond to his urgings to do so.
He said that he was reluctant to use the whip on KA YING WARRIOR as he was concerned, having regard to the manner it was racing, it would respond adversely and therefore he elected to continue to ride his mount out vigorously hands and heels to the finish.
He further stated that the horse's pre-race behaviour and the fact that it raced keenly in the early and middle stages were also contributing factors as to why his mount did not finish the race off strongly.
A veterinary inspection of MARVEL DRAGON and DIAMOND FOREVER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
I GIVE and KA YING WARRIOR were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Post-time favourite I Give came again when headed for the lead 250m out to knock off early favourite Ka Ying Warrior for a second straight win after succeeding last Sunday in Class Five. He's returned in purple patch of form and can win again. Ka Ying Warrior cruised to the lead 250m out after a speed-tracking run but found one too good in the end. It was a good performance at just his second career start. Dream Pursuer ran on well to finish third without threatening the top two after making his run from behind midfield. He's not far off a bottom. Pins Prince ran on nicely to just take fourth after a wide with cover run better than midfield. He can bob up at any moment. Wide Blue Yonder made some ground from midfield to finish next best. It was a positive run carrying top weight and he prefers a longer trip. Podium came up one paced after a handy run. It was a better run at his second start in Class Four but he's still acclimatising. Sunlight Power weaved run late without menacing after making his run second last following a slow start.
